he Fiorentino Bridle System has been in
use for over 60 years. It was later
popularized inthe early eighties by
sailing couple Lin & Larry Pardey,
in their first edition of "Seraffyn's
Oriental Adventure."

Fiorentino's custom
"Fixed and Block
Bridles"
available for multihulls.

For centuries,
heaving-to has been a storm tactic
used to knock down violent waves
with a calm, smooth slick of water
that is created by the hullof
a boat. As sea states worsen, a
Para-Ring Anchorwill help maintaina sailboat in a hove-to
position.
Most sailboats caught in extreme
weather will need to usea pendant line to form a bridle. Fiorentino's
"Adjustable
Pendant Line" is custom rigged to fit
your individual boat. This provides
you with the opportunityto find themost comfortable hove-to
position foryour boat.
